Practical, honest writing from Eric Brown on the craft behind NightScape Lab: the base image, why stacking helps, and how to take a night of frames to a finished image inside Photoshop.
Scene-linear data, ProPhoto, and why baked-in color is so hard to undo. How NightScape Lab's base image keeps white balance and grading honest in Photoshop.
Why your sky and foreground need different treatment, and what Photoshop's Auto-Align can't do.
Everyone automates the mask. Getting the color right on the mid-tones is the harder half.
Longer, practical guides on the fundamentals: how to stack, why to stack, which tool to pick, and how to finish.
NightScape Lab puts everything in these guides into a single workflow, from a night of frames to a finished nightscape. Buy once, own forever.
